Nutiva Organic Vegan Breakfast at IFBC

At IFBC next week, Nutiva is serving up flavorful fare for this organic vegan superfood spectacular! Your morning energy boost will be high in omega 3 fatty acids, as well as rich in fiber, protein, minerals and antioxidants.

First up, the smoothie bar will feature a duo of delicious hemp protein shakes—choose from Chocolate Hemp Shake (almond milk, Nutiva chocolate HempShake, Nutiva Hemp Seeds, Nutiva Chia Seeds, coconut sugar, and banana) or Vanilla Hemp Shake (coconut milk, Nutiva Vanilla HempShake, Nutiva Hemp Seeds, Nutiva Chia Seeds, Nutiva Coconut Manna, coconut sugar, and banana).

Hemp protein is the richest source of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids-- good for skin, hair, and nails. It is an easily digestible, high-quality plant protein with branched-chain amino acids, vital for good health.

Chia seeds are plant world’s number one source of omega-3 fatty acids, filled with more iron than spinach, more calcium than milk and more antioxidants than blueberries.

Sample their Organic Oatmeal served with bananas, berries, raisins and brown sugar. Add some hemp milk and top with Nutiva Hemp Seeds or Chia Seeds for a wonderful nutty flavor.

The Bread Basket will include organic bagels, English muffins and hemp bread. Spreadwith delicious Nutiva Coconut Oil or rich Nutiva Coconut Manna.

Coconut Manna is an intriguing delight that can be enjoyed in both sweet and savory dishes; it’s made when the meat of a fresh coconut is scraped, dried then ground. It has a creamy “mouth feel” which sets it apart from other coconut creams and butters. Both Coconut oil and Coconut Manna can play an important role in a healthy diet. The MCT’s (medium chain triglycerides) in both are well known fats that keep the metabolism burning strong. Coconut oil has received a bad rap for being saturated, but more research is coming out showing its health benefits and mis-characterization.

For heartier cuisine, enjoy the Breakfast Potatoes and Hemp Seeds sautéed in Nutiva Coconut oil, turmeric, onions and red peppers.  And finally, cleanse your palate with the Fruit Selection of ripe organic melons, berries, pineapple, and bananas.
